The Typhoon features a simple flying wing design, intended to provide both excellent glide characteristics and ample room for bomb ports. Though slow compared to more modern designs, the heavily armored Typhoons speed was more than adequate for its ground attack role when compared with contemporaries of the era.[1]

Serving as the core unit during air assault missions, the Typhoon's primary weapons were a series of Defiance 600 PPCs and an array of Large Lasers in its wings, all of which were supported by a single nose-mounted Screamer LRM-15 rack.[1]

This version of the Typhoon introduced in 2469[4] trades the Large Lasers for 2 AC/10s with 2 tons of ammunition. The cooler running ACs allow the removal of 6 heat sinks. Bv (1.0) = 1,439[5][4]

TFN-3M

This version of the Typhoon developed in 2473[6] trades 2 Large Lasers and both PPCs for 2 LRM-20s with 2 tons of ammunition. The cooler running LRMs allow the removal of 4 heat sinks. Bv (1.0) = 1,674[7][6]
